One other question, I forgot, how long does it take to get it?
It depends on what tune, how you drive it, etc. Running a daily tune or lower hp tune would be easier on your engine. I do not think there are any specific studies or reports on longevity of the motor and of course a dealer/Ford is going to say it reduces it. If you are going to go for large HP, many tweaks/mods of the engine that will affect longevity more.

It took me 1 week to get the Gryphon and it comes with 3 general tunes in it - then it took another couple of weeks to get the custom tunes, which you download and update to the Gryphon.
